Child Safety Important Safety Reminders Never hold a baby or child on your lap when riding in a car. If you are wearing your seat belt, the violent forces created during a crash will tear the child from your arms. The child could be seriously hurt or killed. If you are holding a child and not wearing a seat belt in a crash, you could crush the child against the car's interior. Never put your seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt could press deep into the child, causing serious internal injuries. Two children should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very seriously injured in a crash. For their safety, do not leave children alone in your car without adult supervision. General Guidelines for Restraining Children Under 18 kg (40 Ibs) Use an approved child seat. The seat must meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS-213) or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Look for the manufacturer's statement of compliance on the box and seat. Use a seat of the right size. Make sure the seat fits your child. Check the seat manufacturer's instructions and labels for height and weight limits. Secure the child seat to the car. All approved child seats are designed to be secured to the car seat by the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt. A child whose seat is not properly secured to the car can be endangered in a crash. To properly route a seat belt through a child seat, follow the seat maker's instructions. You must use a locking clip with a lap/shoulder belt (see page 21). Secure the child in the child seat. Make sure the infant or child is firmly secured to the child seat. Use the straps provided, and carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions. Restraining an Infant Who Weighs Less Than 9 kg (20 Ibs) An infant up to about 9 kg (20 Ibs) must be restrained in an infant seat or a convertible seat designed for a baby. Because infants must ride in a reclining position, be sure the infant seat always faces the REAR of the car as shown. CONTINUED Driver and Passenger Safety

Child Safety
Important Safety Reminders
Never hold a baby or child on your
lap when riding in a car. If you are
wearingyour seat belt, the violent
forces created during a crash will
tear the child from your arms. The
child could be seriously hurt or killed.
If you are holding a child and not
wearing a seat belt in a crash, you
could crush the child against the car's
interior.
Never put your seat belt over
yourself and a child. During a crash,
the belt could press deep into the
child, causing serious internal
injuries.
Two children should never use the
same seat belt. If they do, they could
be very seriously injured in a crash.
For their safety, do not leave
children alone in your car without
adult supervision.
General Guidelines for
Restraining Children Under 18
kg (40 Ibs)
Use an approved child seat.
The seat
must meet Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS-213) or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. Look for the manufac-
turer's statement of compliance on
the box and seat.
Use a seat of the right size.
Make sure
the seat fits your child. Check the
seat manufacturer's instructions and
labels for height and weight limits.
Secure the child seat to the car.
All
approved child seats are designed to
be secured to the car seat by the lap
belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt. A
child whose seat is not properly
secured to the car can be
endangered in a crash.
To properly route a seat belt through
a child seat, follow the seat maker's
instructions. You must use a locking
clip with a lap/shoulder belt (see
page
21
).
Secure the child in the child seat.
Make
sure the infant or child is firmly
secured to the child seat. Use the
straps provided, and carefully follow
the manufacturer's instructions.
Restraining an Infant Who
Weighs Less Than 9 kg
(20 Ibs)
An infant up to about 9 kg (20 Ibs)
must be restrained in an infant seat
or a convertible seat designed for a
